On the afternoon of Nov. 20, Univ. President Ron Liebowitz wrote an email to the grieving Brandeis community about the fatal Nov. 19 shuttle accident. “Adding to the difficulty of absorbing such painful news is the fact that we all have many unanswered questions at this time,” he said. Liebowitz went on to express that as more information became available, Brandeis administration would update the community. Since the evening of Nov. 19 when news of the accident first emerged, Liebowitz and Interim Vice President for Student Affairs Andrea Dine have sent a collective total of nine emails addressing the Brandeis community. These emails primarily share available resources for students to process the incident. The university has not provided any new details regarding the cause of the accident or the status of injured students since Nov. 22. An investigation is being conducted by the Middlesex District Attorney's office.
